#SeatOutToHelpOut i can get behind: why do people view the arts as a luxury but not service industry the same way?
theatres & live venues all have hospitality sectors

you can enjoy food & media at home but supporting the industry this comes from is important too

eg:

discount cinema ticket schemes, live performance tickets with drink tokens, compensated travel to theatres with tickets bought for matinees or twilight performances... it’s all completely doable!

If only the government supported traditional art forms over TV license fees

schemes like this enable luxury outings to become accessible for those on low income, while also helping the industry they provide for.

This would help thousands of people in a multitude of different sectors within the arts, from actors to crew, bar staff to ushers

Thanks for reading the thread

Rishi Sunak: Save theatres with a seat subsidy #SeatOutToHelpOut

Please join me and add your name to the petition asking Rishi Sunak to introduce #SeatOutToHelpOut. It would mean the government adds £10 for every theatre seat sold. Join me now:
